It's almost time to "eat mor chikin" along Haggerty Road in Northville Township.

The calls for Chick-fil-A to come to the region have been answered by the company, which plans to add a restaurant at 20155 Haggerty, located in front of the Kohl's between Seven Mile and Eight Mile.

The company went before the Northville Township Planning Commission April 30 seeking approval for a site plan for a new restaurant. That plan was recommended for approval with some modifications and will go to the township board later on this year, said Township Planner Jennifer Frey.

"It will go to the township board likely in June," she said. "It really depends on when they resubmit their plans."

The restaurant would be a freestanding restaurant on the northern property line, Frey said, and would have a drive-through as well. The property is properly zoned for such a restaurant as well, Frey said.

The fast-food restaurant chain known for its chicken sandwiches based in Atlanta, has long had metro Detroiters' attention for not being located in the area. The company has recently began planning for more restaurants in the area after opening stores at Somerset Collection in Troy and Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

'Chick-fil-A is always looking for new locations to continue serving our guests, and we’re happy to share that we are pursuing expansion into Northville, Michigan. While we are still early in the process, we look forward to working through approvals with the city and meeting with our future neighbors to understand how we can best serve the area," the company said in a statement. "We are excited to join the community and hope to have the opportunity to serve everyone our signature food with genuine hospitality."
